He'll be missed.
Dec. 26th, 2021 10:42 pmWayne Thiebaud, passed at 101.
I always loved his work. I got a print of one of his landscape pieces at the SF MOMA just a few weeks into college, shortly after moving to San Francisco - even in small reproduction, even through the screen, the strokes are clear and strong, the paint its own player.
What I find oddest about this - beyond the thought that there's people I wish could've lived long enough for me to tell them about this because I know they would've made their own art in celebration of his life when they heard about his death - is that I wrote a scene dealing with Thiebaud's work in The Tiger is Out, and since the scene's set in the 2030s, I was hesitant to pick a date for when Thiebaud would pass, but now that it's happened, I need to go see if there's anything I need to revise for clarity and accuracy.
